DeArmitt undertakes the work of rehabilitating \"narcissism\" by patiently reexamining the terms and figures that have been associated with it, especially in the writings of Rousseau, Kristeva, and Derrida. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese thinkers are known for incisively exposing a certain (traditional) narcissism that has been operative in Western thought and culture and for revealing the violence it has wrought-- from the dangers of amour-propre and the pathology of a collective \"one's own\" to the phantasm of the sovereign One. Nonetheless, each of these thinkers denounces the naive denunciation of \"narcissism,\" as the dangers of a non-negotiation with narcissism are more perilous. By rethinking \"narcissism\" as a complex structure of self-relation through the Other, the book reveals the necessity of an im-possible self-love.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePleshette DeArmitt\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Memphis.
